Description
This application is a continuation of co-pending U.S. patent application Ser. No. 13/689,634, entitled CONTENT VISUALIZATION and filed Nov. 29, 2012 (the '634 application). The '634 application is a continuation of co-pending U.S. patent application Ser. No. 12/895,719, entitled CONTENT VISUALIZATION and filed Sep. 30, 2010 (the '719 application). The '719 application is a continuation of U.S. patent application Ser. No. 11/880,483, entitled CONTENT VISUALIZATION, filed Jul. 19, 2007 and issued on Nov. 9, 2010 as U.S. Pat. No. 7,831,928 (the '483 application). The '483 application claims priority to U.S. Provisional Application No. 60/832,056, entitled CONTENT VISUALIZATION and filed Jul. 19, 2006, and is a continuation-in-part of co-pending U.S. patent application Ser. No. 11/474,103, entitled EVENT VISUALIZATION and filed Jun. 22, 2006. All of the preceding applications are incorporated herein by reference for all purposes.
Popular content repositories, voting sites, and other social collaborative networks, such as public photograph, journal, and video sites typically contain a vast amount of content. The interactions that users of such sites can take, such as commenting on and rating content can be orders of magnitude more numerous than the content itself. As a result, tracking and comprehending what activity is being taken, and by whom, especially as it occurs, can be difficult.
Therefore, it would be desirable to have a better way to visualize information.
Various embodiments of the invention are disclosed in the following detailed description and the accompanying drawings.
The invention can be implemented in numerous ways, including as a process, an apparatus, a system, a composition of matter, a computer readable medium such as a computer readable storage medium or a computer network wherein program instructions are sent over optical or communication links. In this specification, these implementations, or any other form that the invention may take, may be referred to as techniques. A component such as a processor or a memory described as being configured to perform a task includes both a general component that is temporarily configured to perform the task at a given time or a specific component that is manufactured to perform the task. In general, the order of the steps of disclosed processes may be altered within the scope of the invention.
A detailed description of one or more embodiments of the invention is provided below along with accompanying figures that illustrate the principles of the invention. The invention is described in connection with such embodiments, but the invention is not limited to any embodiment. The scope of the invention is limited only by the claims and the invention encompasses numerous alternatives, modifications and equivalents. Numerous specific details are set forth in the following description in order to provide a thorough understanding of the invention. These details are provided for the purpose of example and the invention may be practiced according to the claims without some or all of these specific details. For the purpose of clarity, technical material that is known in the technical fields related to the invention has not been described in detail so that the invention is not unnecessarily obscured.
Preference system 102 includes a web module 108 that provides typical web server functionality such as serving website 116, capturing user input, and providing Really Simple Syndication (RSS) feed (110) support. In the example shown, web module 108 is an Apache HTTP server that supports running PHP scripts. Web module 108 is interfaced with a database 112, such as through a MySQL database backend.
As described in more detail below, users are made aware of the submitted content through website 116 and features such as RSS feeds. In addition to providing a link to the content (e.g., a hyperlink to web page 106) and information such as a summary of the story and the date and time it was submitted, website 116 permits users to indicate their preferences for the content by making a variety of interactions. For example, users can “digg” a story to indicate their like of its content, “bury” a story to indicate problems with the content, and may also take other actions such as commenting on the content. These actions (including the initial submission of the content contribution) are referred to herein collectively as “preference events.”
Whenever a preference event occurs (e.g., whenever a user submits, diggs, buries, or comments on content), the event is recorded in database 112 along with associated information such as the identity of the user and a time/date stamp. As described in more detail below, information recorded in database 112 is used in a variety of ways, such as in conjunction with visualization tools that query database 112 and/or make use of data extracted from database 112.
In some embodiments, the infrastructure provided by portions of preference system 102 is located on and/or replicated across a plurality of servers rather than the entirety of preference system 102 being collocated on a single platform. Such may be the case, for example, if the contents of database 112 are vast and/or there are many simultaneous visitors to site 116.
Region 160 displays a list of categories into which news stories are grouped. If “View All” is selected, stories from all categories will be displayed in story window 164. As shown, the “Technology” category is selected. In some embodiments, visual indications of what category is selected are presented. In the example shown, the selected category is highlight (represented here by stippling) at 166, and the title of the category appears above story window 164 at 168. In some embodiments, Alice can configure which topics are available to her on site 116. For example, if Alice dislikes Sports, she can configure interface 150 to never show her any sports-related stories, even when viewing using the “View All” option.
Story window 164 typically includes one or more story entries 170. In the example shown, a story entry includes the title of a story, as well as other associated information, such as who submitted the story and when, the external URL of the story, the category to which the story belongs, and a summary of the story. As described in more detail below, links are provided to the story directly (such as by clicking on the title), as well as to an area of site 116 associated with the story, referred to herein as the story's permalink. For example, by clicking on the comments link (176) of the story, Alice will be presented with the comments portion of the permalink described in more detail below.
Story entry 170 also includes a problem reporting region 178. Users may report problems for a variety of reasons. For example, the first story entry and the third story entry shown describe the same news—scientists superheating a gas. Alice has selected the problem, “duplicate” story, from problem reporting region 178. As described in more detail below, this is one form of burying a story. In some embodiments, buried stories are displayed differently, or removed entirely from the user's interface. In the example shown, once a story is buried, it is greyed out, represented here by stippling (180).
As described in more detail below, each story has one or more scores associated with it. In the example shown, the “digg” score (172) for each story is displayed, as is an interactive region beneath the score (box 174) that allows a user to “digg” the story. The first story has been dugg 237 times, but has not been dugg by Alice. As described in more detail below, if Alice were to select region 174, a variety of actions would be immediately taken, including increasing the digg score of the story and updating the region's text from “digg it” to “dugg!” as shown in region 182.
Alice is currently viewing a “promoted stories” (184) view of story window 164. This means that all of the stories presented to Alice on the current view of the interface have exceeded a promotion threshold. One example of a promotion threshold is the raw number of diggs. Other requirements/factors may be used for thresholding in addition to or instead of a digg score, such as requiring that a certain amount of time elapse between story submission and story promotion, the speed with which stories are being dugg, information associated with users that have dugg the story, etc. Because some threshold of users must agree that a story has merit before being promoted, stories shown in promoted view 184 are unlikely to contain spam or otherwise be inherently inappropriate for Alice's viewing.
In some embodiments, different thresholds are used for different stories, such as for stories in different categories. For example, the promotion of a math related story may only require 100 diggs whereas a story about the president may require 500 diggs.
If Alice selects the upcoming stories tab (186), only stories which have not yet met the appropriate threshold will be displayed. For example, newly submitted stories which have not yet been “dugg” by a sufficient number of people will be presented by selecting tab 186. In some embodiments, if a story languishes in the upcoming stories pool for more than a certain period of time without receiving a sufficient digg score to be promoted (e.g., for a week), the story is removed from the pool and can only be found via its permalink or through a search. In some embodiments, such stories are deleted from database 112. Such stories are typically indicative of spam, inaccuracies, and old news. Similarly, if enough users bury a story, the story may be removed from the pool and/or database 112.
In other embodiments, other views of stories may be presented as applicable, such as a view that unifies both the promoted and the upcoming stories. In the example shown, because Alice has selected the “Technology” category (166), only technology related stories are presented in the promoted stories (184) and upcoming stories (186) views. Similarly, the topics of the presented stories (e.g., “Math,” are all subtopics of Technology). In some embodiments, the information presented with the story entry may vary, such as from topic to topic. For example, if Alice selected “View All” at 160, the listed topic may be the top level category to which the story belongs (e.g., “Technology”) or include a drilled down description (e.g., “World News—Canada—Elections”).
As described in more detail below, portion 162 of interface 150 displays the recent activities (preference events) of Alice's friends. For example, in the last 48 hours, Alice's friends have submitted two stories, dugg twelve stories, and commented on sixteen stories, as reflected in dashboard 162. Of the twelve stories her friends have dugg, four of the stories have not yet been promoted. In some embodiments, assorted visual cues of her friends' activity are presented throughout website 116. In the example shown, stories dugg by Alice's friends are notated by a banner (184) placed across the digg score. In other cases, other cues may be used, such as by changing the color of the story, and/or interactive behavior such as playing a sound or showing the friend's avatar icon when, for example, Alice's cursor hovers over a story dugg by a friend.
Region 188 displays a list of tools, such as visualization tools, that Alice can use to view and interact with content and/or preference events.
Story Submission
At 204, one or more checks are performed. As described in more detail below, examples of checks include checking to make sure the URL is valid and does not, for example, contain a typo; checking for duplicate stories; determining whether the story submission appears on a blacklist or is otherwise to be blocked; determining whether the story is being submitted by a blacklisted user; determining whether the story is being submitted by an anonymous proxy, etc. At 206, it is determined whether the story should be accepted.
In some embodiments, if the story submission fails any of the checks performed at 204, the story is rejected at 210. In some embodiments, a threshold is applied to whether or not a story is accepted at 208. For example, a story that appears to be a duplicate may be flagged for review by an administrator, may be provisionally marked as a potential duplicate, may be accepted so long as no other checks are failed, etc. In some embodiments, the identity of the submitter is taken into consideration when determining whether to accept a story. The decision of whether to accept the story may be based at least in part on factors such as the length of time the user has been a registered user of site 116, whether the user has previously submitted inappropriate content, and/or a score assigned to the user.
Typically, the information received at 202 is received through a web interface, such as a story submission form that can be accessed, by selecting region 158 of interface 150. Other methods of submission may also be used, as appropriate. For example, an external website, such as a user's blog could be configured to provide an interface to server 102. Submission may also be automated, such as by syndicating a news feed to a story submission component executing the process shown in
At 304, it is determined whether the submitting user is logged into site 116. If not, the user is presented with a page at which he or she can create an account or log in to an existing account. After completing registration and/or logging in, the user is directed back to the story submission interface (not shown).
A logged in user, such as Alice, is then presented with an interface through which a story may be submitted such as a web form. At 308, a URL is received, such via Alice entering the URL into the form.
System 102 maintains a block list that includes URLs that, e.g., have been reported by administrators as spam sites, fraudulent sites, etc. If a threshold number of users report a story (such as through region 178 of interface 150), the story may be automatically added to the block list. At 310 it is determined whether the URL is present on the list of blocked URLs. In some embodiments, instead of or in addition to maintaining a list of block URLs, system 102 checks for blocked URLs in conjunction with a third party, such as a commercial anti-spam registry. If the submitted URL appears on the blocked list, the user is presented with an error at 312. In various embodiments, the error indicates to the user the problem with the URL, such as that the URL belongs to a known spammer. In such cases, the user may be presented with the option of challenging the block. In other embodiments, a user submitting a blocked URL is not told why the URL is blocked, or may not be told that the URL is blocked at all. For example, a spurious “system configuration” error may be presented to the user to help minimize attempts at circumventing checks.
At 314, it is determined whether the URL can be reached. One way of performing this check is to make use of a tool such as curl or wget. If the URL cannot be reached, for example because of a typo (e.g., HTTP Status Code 404) or because accessing the URL requires a login/password (e.g., HTTP Status Code 401), the user is presented with an error at 316. In various embodiments, the user is permitted to revise and resubmit a failed URL without having to restart the process at 302.
Duplicate checking is performed on the URL at 318. In some embodiments, the check performed looks only for exact matches of the URL. In other embodiments, fuzzy or other matching is applied.
If it is determined that the submitted URL is a duplicate of, or similar to a URL previously submitted to server 302, at 320 the user is presented with a list of the previously submitted story or stories. In some cases, the new story submission is a duplicate of an existing story submission. In other cases, however, the stories may be distinct, despite sharing a common URL. Such may be the case, for example, with a corporate website that always posts new press releases to the same URL, such as “www.company.com/news.html.” Suppose Alice submits a URL that is already stored in database 112. At 320 she is asked to compare her story against the other story or stories submitted under that URL (324). For example, the interface may present to her a list of the existing stories matching her submitted URL in a format similar to story window 164 shown in
At 322, the user is prompted to supply additional information about the story submission, such as the story's title, a summary of the story, and to which category or categories it belongs. In some embodiments, the information collected at 322 is received at the same time that the URL is received (308) and portion 322 of the process shown in
At 328, additional checks are performed on the story. For example, a spam story may escape detection at 310. Such may be the case if the spam was recently created or is an attempt to unscrupulously drive traffic to a previously legitimate page and is not already present in a blacklist One check that can be performed at 328 includes applying spam detection techniques to the text located at the submitted URL and/or the title or summary provided by the user. Additional checks may also be employed in addition to or instead of spam checks at 328. For example, a determination may be made of whether the submitter (e.g., Alice) is connecting to site 116 via an anonymous proxy. If it is determined at 328 that the submission is spam or should otherwise not be accepted, at 330, the submission is rejected. In some embodiments, the submission is “silently” rejected—the user is shown a “successful” dialogue when in fact the story is rejected. In other embodiments, the user is presented with an error, such as the error presented at 312.
Additional duplication checks are performed on the story at 332. In some embodiments, the submitted title and summary of the story are compared against the titles and summaries of stories already submitted to server 102. In some embodiments, the page is crawled and a full text match (such as a MySQL full text search) is performed against the submitted story and previously submitted stories. In such a case, database 112 is configured to store at least portions of the crawls in addition to information associated with the story. If it is determined that the story is a potential duplicate, at 334 the user is presented the option of digging the story (336) or submitting it anyway.
When a story is accepted at 338, an entry for the story submission is created in database 112. Information such as the submission time and the user who submitted the story are stored and counts associated with the story, such as its digg score, are set to zero. The story becomes accessible in the upcoming stories view (e.g., 186 of
Information in one or more tables 114 is also updated to include information associated with the new story, for example for use in conjunction with searching, and with visualizations discussed in more detail below. Additionally, information associated with the submitting user is modified as appropriate. For example, a count of the number of stories submitted by the user is incremented, and the story is made available in areas such as the user's profile and the profile areas of the user's friends, if applicable.
As described in more detail below, a permalink for the story can be accessed by visitors to site 116 and contains content assembled dynamically from the information stored in database 112. In system 102, the permalink's URL is created by stripping disallowed characters (such as punctuation) from the submitted story's title and appending digits as necessary to avoid collisions. So, for example, if Alice's submitted story were titled “New Species of Bird Discovered,” once accepted at 338, information associated with the submitted story would be accessible at the URL, “http://www.digg.com/science/New_Species_of_Bird_Discovered.html.”
Also at 338, if the user has specified blogging information, such as a username and password of an account on a blogging service, the submitted story is posted to the user's blog. Information such as the summary and/or title of the story can be automatically copied into the blog submission and/or edited by the user prior to submission. For example, if Alice has specified the details of her blog account in her profile (reachable by selecting portion 154 of interface 150), when submitting story submissions, she can specify whether she'd like the story to also appear in her blog. If Alice has not configured her blog settings, the ability to blog can be greyed out, hidden, and or explained at 338, as applicable.
Recording and Reflecting Preference Events
The digg score of story 402 is currently two (404) and the story has not met the threshold(s) required for the story to be promoted out of the “upcoming stories” area.
In the interface shown in
She can report a problem with the story (bury it) by selecting an option from problem dropdown 408. Story reporting options include “duplicate” story (to report that story 402 is a duplicate of another story), “bad link” (to report that the link to the full text of the story is defective), “spam” (to indicate that the story is fraudulent or spam), “inaccurate” (to indicate that there are factual problems with the story), and “old news” and “this is lame” to indicate that the story is not newsworthy. In some embodiments, bury events are anonymous site wide and are not replicated, for example, in a user's publicly accessibly digging history. One reason for this is to minimize the chances of a “flame war” occurring, for example, when a well known user negatively rates a story or comment.
As described in more detail below, region 410 displays comments that users have made about story 402. Thus far, a total of five comments have been left about story 402, two of which were left by Alice's friends. Alice can submit comments by entering information into region 412 of
In region 414, Alice is currently viewing a list of all the users who dugg story 402. Suppose David is Alice's friend, but Legolas is not. If Alice selects friends tab 416, the view in region 414 will change to show only David's name and avatar icon.
In region 418, Alice is currently viewing a list of the users who have blogged story 402. Charlie is the only person who has blogged the story so far and he is not Alice's friend. Therefore, if Alice were to select friends tab 420, no names would be shown.
Alice can submit this story to her own blog by entering in optional text in region 422 and selecting region 424. Alice can email the story to one or more addresses by entering them into region 426 and selecting region 428.
As shown, all of the information associated with a particular story (e.g., title/summary of the story, digg score, comments, who has blogged the story, etc.) is displayed on a single page. In other embodiments, the information is presented across multiple pages, such as with a tabbed view with one or more tabs for each component.
Comment 504 was written by Bob, one of Alice's friends, as was comment 506 (written by David). In this example, comments written by friends are distinguished from other comments, such as through having a differently colored header. Comments dugg by friends are also distinguished. Thus, while CharlieB is not Alice's friend, his comment (508) is distinguished because it was dugg by Bob, who is Alice's friend, as also indicated by the inclusion of Bob's name and a star on the header of comment 508. The number of comments left by and/or dugg by her friends are indicated at 514.
In the example shown, Bob has written an informative comment, which 18 people have dugg. If desired, Alice can digg or bury Bob's comment by selecting the appropriate icon at 520. In the example shown, the digg icon is a green thumb pointing up. The bury icon is a red thumb pointing down. As described in more detail below, if Alice selects one of the icons, Bob's comment score is immediately updated and the thumbs are greyed out to indicate to Alice that she's already registered her preference for Bob's comment.
Suppose Alice finds comment 510 to be off topic or otherwise unhelpful. If she chooses to bury the comment, in the example shown, a variety of changes will occur in the interface immediately. The comment score for comment 510 will decrement by one point. Additionally, comment 510 will collapse down to just the header, which will grey out. If Alice finds the poster of the comment, Legolas, a sufficient nuisance, she can block him by selecting block icon 524. In this example, if Alice selects the block icon, she will never be shown any content from Legolas again, site-wide, unless she later chooses to unblock him, such as through settings in her profile. Thus, by selecting block icon 524, Alice will not see comments made by Legolas, stories posted by Legolas, etc., unless and until she chooses to unblock him.
In some embodiments, if enough people bury a comment, the comment is removed from the site and/or reported to an administrator. Similarly, if enough people block a user, in some embodiments, the user is reported to an administrator and/or banned from accessing site features.
If desired, Alice can submit one or more comments of her own. For example, she may reply to an existing comment by selecting the reply button associated with the comment (526), or create a new comment by submitting text through region 528. In some embodiments, Alice is given a portion of time during which she may edit the comment, such as within five minutes of submitting the comment.
As described in more detail below, when Alice submits or diggs a comment, that preference event is recorded in database 112, her profile and the profiles of her friends are immediately updated, and associated RSS files are updated.
Alice has currently selected to view her friends' history by selecting portion 610 of interface 602. The information presented can be further customized by selecting from subsets of information. For example, if Alice selects portion 620 of interface 602, she will be presented with a listing of all of the stories that have been dugg by at least one of her friends. If she selects portion 622, she will be presented with a list of stories that have been dugg by at least one of her friends but have not yet been promoted. If she selects portion 626, Alice will be presented with a list of stories submitted by her friends, and by selecting portion 628, Alice will be presented with a list of stories that have been commented on by her friends. Other information (not shown) may also be presented in other embodiments, such as a list of comments that Alice and/or her friends have dugg.
In the example shown, Alice has selected to view stories “agreed on” by her friends (624). Each of the stories listed in this view have been dugg by at least three of Alice's friends. In various embodiments, Alice can configure the threshold and specify such information as the number of friends (or total number of diggs) required for a story to be agreed upon and/or define particular individuals whose digg is necessary for a story to be considered agreed upon, keywords that must be present in the story, etc. By making use of the “agreed on” view, Alice can readily discern the most important stories, even if she has thousands of friends. (I.e., if she sets the threshold to “agreed on by at least 10 friends,” and has 1000 friends, the number of stories she is presented with is likely to be manageable and especially relevant or interesting.)
Region 616 of interface 602 indicates that four of Alice's friends have dugg story 632. Alice can also see which of her friends have dugg story 632 by hovering her input device over the digg score box of story 632. In some embodiments, Alice can interact with region 616, such as by being presented with a dialogue that offers to send an email to all of her friends listed in the region.
By selecting portion 606 of interface 602, both Alice, and visitors to Alice's profile will be presented with Alice's history in a format similar to that currently shown, but limited to activities taken by Alice. Additionally, Alice may “undigg” stories and comments that she previously dugg by visiting her history.
All of the views described in conjunction with
When a user takes certain actions, such as digging a story or burying a comment, the results of that action are reflected immediately, without the user being directed to a “success” page or the appearance of, e.g., a page refresh occurring to the user. For example, suppose Bob has listed Alice as his friend. Whenever Alice submits a new story, that new story immediately appears on Bob's “Friends—Submitted” list and is written to the associated RSS file. Similarly, whenever David comments on an article, that fact is immediately reflected under Alice's tab 628 as shown in
Visualizations
In the example shown, a user such as Alice can specify which stories to spy on. For example, she can spy on all stories (802), stories which have not yet been promoted (804), or just promoted stories (806). Further specification of a subset of stories can also be applied, as applicable. For example, in various embodiments, a user can specify a key word that must be present in all stories being spied upon, and/or spy on stories in specified categories (not shown), and/or spy on events taken by friends only.
Additionally, a user can specify the types of preference events to be spied upon. In the example shown, Alice has checked (would like to see) all types of activity—new story submissions (indicated by icon 810), diggs (indicated by icon 812), buries (indicated by icon 814), and comments (indicated by icon 816).
One way of implementing the visualization shown in
When Alice first visits interface 800 with her browser, and on a recurring basis after that (such as every 20 seconds, or whenever the pool of events is running low), batches of information are retrieved from server 102 in a scope commensurate with the options selected (which documents to spy on and for which activities). Specifically, the most recent content from each of the smaller tables 114 is retrieved from server 102 and stored locally, such as in Alice's browser. Asynchronous JavaScript and XML (Ajax) components in interface 800 cause the information to displayed to Alice, for example, at a rate of one event per second, depending on which information she would like to view. In some embodiments, Alice can control the speed of the display, such as through playback controls 808.
In some cases, such as with heavy digging activity, there may be sufficiently more than 20 diggs occurring site-wide during the twenty second interval between the times that Alice's browser fetches a new batch of digging information. Thus, after twenty seconds have elapsed, system 102 may have recorded 200 digg events—significantly more than the 20 digg events that Alice periodically fetches. In some embodiments, only the most recent 20 actions are fetched. Thus, every twenty seconds, Alice requests the 20 most recent events and will never see any intervening events.
In other embodiments, the number of events fetched adjusts in accordance with the speed with which the events are occurring. In such case, all of the events are fetched and the rate with which they are displayed is sped up (showing one every tenth of a second if there are 200) or slowed down (showing one every five seconds if there are only four) as appropriate. In some embodiments, a sampling of activity is taken throughout the period so that if 200 events occur during the 20 second interval, a random sample of 20 will be supplied to Alice's browser.
In the example shown in
By consulting the column descriptions (842), Alice can see that event 830 was a submission of a new story (818), titled “Scientists Discover New Type of Bird” (822), that the story was submitted by CharlieB (824)), and that the story is currently unpromoted (826) with a digg score of 1 (820). When event 832 appears in the display at time t2, Alice can see that event 832 was a comment by Legolas on a story titled “How to Make a USB Powered Alarm Clock” that currently has a digg score of 33 and has been promoted out of the upcoming stories queue. At time t3, Alice can see that David posted a new story titled “New Species of Bird Discovered.” At time t4, David's story was reported as being a duplicate story (828). The identity of a user burying something is not shown. Instead, only the reason for the bury (such as duplicate story, inaccurate story, old news, etc.) is shown. In other embodiments, other information can be displayed, as applicable.
In
In the example shown, eleven new stories have been submitted since Alice began viewing interface 150. Statistical information such as the number of stories submitted, the rate with which they are being submitted, etc., is indicated at 870. As preference events associated with the stories displayed in interface 850 occur, they are also indicated in interface 850. For example, when a story is dugg, the event is represented by a digg icon, such as the one shown at 812 in
At 864, a bury of story 882 is shown falling down onto that story's graphical representation and will decrease the height of the story box when it lands. In the example shown, the bury is indicated by the bury icon shown at 814 in
In some embodiments, additional elements are included, such as the animation shown at 880 (of a missile about to strike heap 882), and indications of who is taking the action. For example, diggs 860 and 862 are being performed by friends of Alice. She is alerted to this fact by bubbles accompanying the digg action being performed that indicate their names and/or avatars. The look of interface 850 can be skinned in some embodiments—Alice can specify that she desires the interface to have a militaristic theme, such as in the example shown, or other themes, such as ones in which animals “eat” stories or multiply.
The relative popularity of newly submitted stories is indicated by the relative heights of the stories shown in interface 850. For example, story 884 is a very popular story, while story 856 is not.
In the example shown, only newly submitted stories are shown. Interface 850 can also be scoped to represent other portions of activity. For example, Alice can specify that she wants to observe only actions taken by her friends (or groups of her friends), but across all stories, new or old. Alice can also specify that she wants to observe only actions that include a particular keyword, actions occurring only in particular categories or subcategories, etc. Alice can also specify particular stories she wishes to monitor, such as by selecting a link on the page's permalink that reads, “add this story to my incoming view.” Alice can also “pin” the stories shown in interface 850. When she hovers her mouse over a particular story shown in interface 850, one element that is revealed is a pushpin icon which, if selected, causes the story to remain in region 886 of interface 850, and/or be added to a list of favorites (878).
A variety of graphical tools are shown on the left hand side of interface 850. They include charts of information such as which stories in the last hour have been most popular 876, the relative rankings of stories that Alice is monitoring (has pinned) 878, a more comprehensive view (i.e., including information predating Alice's current interactions with interface 850), etc. At 872, the story entry 170 of a story that Alice hovers her mouse over, such as story 854, is displayed and she can interact with the story entry 170 such as digging it or burying it accordingly.
The interface shown in
The interface shown in
In the example shown, story 902 was originally submitted by the user David. When he successfully submitted the story, it appeared in his profile, as well as in the Friends History (e.g., at 610 of
When users 904-912 dugg story 902, that action was recorded in their respective user profiles as well. Visitors to their profiles, and those who list them as friends who digg the story will be shown connected to them, the way they are shown connected to David. If expansion tab 914 is selected, interface 900 will continue to provide detail down the tree (those who dugg story 902 through user 916, and so on).
One use of the tree view is that users can trace how their friends learned about stories and meet new friends. For example, if Alice notices that Bob diggs a lot of cryptography stories, she can determine where Bob diggs them from—does he submit the stories himself, or is he mainly digging stories submitted by CharlieB—and add new friends (such as CharlieB) as appropriate.
Which stories will appear in the cloud view can be configured, such as by selecting one or more categories to view or limiting the view to stories dugg by friends. The cloud view can also be sorted by a variety of factors. As shown, the newest (most recently submitted) stories are shown at the top, and older stories are shown at the bottom of
In some embodiments, only recent activity is shown—such as diggs in the last 10 minutes. Stories with more activities (such as diggs and comments) will appear larger than stories with fewer activities. In some embodiments, additional information is received from the interface shown in
As users digg more stories, they move from circle to circle, and also increase in size. For example, a very large user might represent a person who is not taking much time to read stories, but is instead merely rapidly indicating preferences. In the example shown in
Different modes of the swarm visualization may be presented by selecting one of the options in region 1140. For example, if the “all activity” is selected, circles representing stories and diggers are quickly removed from display if no associated preference events are occurring/being made, respectively. When the “popular stories” mode is selected, the display is initially loaded with the n stories most recently promoted to the front page. As new stories are promoted, they appear in the visualization, and the (n+1)th story is removed. The value of n may be configured, e.g., by a user or an administrator. In some embodiments n is 35. When the “upcoming stories” mode is selected, the n most recently submitted stories each receive a circle. In some embodiments n is 30.
In the example shown in
Alice may also override the default amount of time a particular story will be displayed in (e.g., in the interface shown in
In some embodiments, a plugin and/or add-on to a computer program product is used to provide digging (and/or burying, commenting, and submitting) functionality. The plugin/add-on is associated with an interface to server 102 which may include functions that determine whether a permalink already exists for the submission, and invoke processing of a new submission, a comment, etc., as appropriate.
For example, a plugin to a web browser (e.g., a Firefox extension) can be configured to offer a user the ability to digg an item directly from the context in which it is encountered without having to visit the submission interface described in conjunction with
Configurable dropdowns and/or overlays can also be provided to alert a user of certain activity. For example, the user can set an alert to receive notification when new stories having certain keywords are submitted to server 102. Notification can also be provided for friends' digging activities as they occur, such as that a friend has just dugg a story or commented on a product.
As used herein, content contributions are pointers to content (e.g., news articles and podcasts) that is stored outside of preference system 102, typically by a third party. In some embodiments, users submit the content itself (e.g. the full text of articles, and the audio file) rather than or in addition to a pointer to the content, and the techniques described herein are adapted accordingly. The terms “content,” “content contribution,” and “pointers to content” are used herein interchangeably. As described in more detail below, content contributions are not limited to news articles. Other content (such as products, services, songs, sounds, photographs, and video) can be submitted, dugg, buried, and commented on and the techniques described herein can be adapted as appropriate. Preference events taken on those types of content may likewise be associated with a profile and shared with friends in a manner similar to that described, for example, in conjunction with
Alice can submit a new product review by selecting portion 1302 of interface 1300. She can view products in one or more categories by selecting the appropriate portion of region 1304. Portion 1306 of interface 1300 displays the recent activities of Alice's friends in a dashboard format.
Region 1326 of interface 1300 indicates that four of Alice's friends have dugg product 1324, the ACME MP3 player. Alice can also see which of her friends have dugg product 1324 by hovering her input device over the digg score box of product 1324. In some embodiments, Alice can interact with region 1326, such as by being presented with a dialogue that offers to send an email to all of her friends listed in the region. In some embodiments, additional actions can be taken with product 1324. For example, Alice may be presented a “buy this product now” icon or link.
All of the views shown in
In some embodiments, profile visitors (including Alice) are presented with the option to search (1308) all of site 116 for product keywords (1310), search Alice's diggs for product keywords (1312), and/or search diggs made by Alice's friends for product keywords (1314). For example, a visitor to Alice's profile can search for MP3 players that she has dugg or commented on. In some embodiments, search interface 1308 includes the ability to filter results on meta information such as regions for DVDs, languages for books, etc. In some embodiments, views (and searches) can be limited by other factors, such as location (distance from Alice), availability (whether a product is in stock and how quickly it can arrive), etc.
The example shown is, as rendered in a browser, an implementation of a portion of website 116 that includes the ability to submit, digg, and comment on products. In this example, Alice has selected to view products in the category, MP3 player, from a larger set of categories, such as those listed in region 1304 of
In the example shown, each product listing (1302, 1304) includes a photograph of the MP3 player (1306), as well as a digg score/digg box (1308), title, description, etc. (1310). The MP3 players shown in this example are sorted by popularity.
On the right hand side are assorted graphs (1312, 1314) of information associated with the products shown. Graph 1312 compares the popularity (e.g. digg scores, number of comments recently made, etc.) of different MP3 players against each other over time so that trends such as which ones are gaining in popularity and which ones are decreasing in popularity can be visually determined.
In the example shown, the Acme F242 player is more popular than the Beta 10 player. In some embodiments, the frequency with which a user visits preference system is considered when determining the popularity of a product. For example, suppose the Beta 10 player has 165 diggs, 25 of which were made by users who have not visited the preference system in 3 months. In some embodiments, the diggs of those 25 users are expired. The product will remain listed in the absent user's profiles, but their diggs will not be included when calculating the popularity of the product.
Users also have the ability to undigg a product to indicate that they've moved onto something new. For example, suppose Alice currently has a Beta 10 player and is interested in upgrading. If she purchases an Acme F242, she can visit her profile to undigg the Beta 10 and digg the Acme F242. Her actions—undigging the Beta 10 and digging the Acme F242 instead—will also be reflected in graph shown at 1312. For example, on the day that she undiggs the Beta 10, its position along the vertical axis will be decreased. On the day that she diggs the Acme F242, the Acme F242's position on the graph will similarly increase.
Graph 1312 also includes indications of the individual users who are taking digging and undigging actions. For example, when Alice hovers her mouse over region 1318, she can see that a user, Mark, dugg the Acme F242. Indications of actions taken by her friends are also included on graph 1312. For example, regions associated with friends' diggs of the Acme F242 are highlight in green, or with avatars, or other indicators that her friends have indicated preferences at a particular time. For example, Alice can use graph 1312 to determine that David dugg the Acme 242 two months after Charlie dugg the Beta 10.
The information shown in
In some embodiments, demographic information is displayed. For example, in graph 1314, the popularity of a particular MP3 player is broken down by assorted groups such as teens and adults, or girls and boys. Demographic information can similarly be included in a search so that, for example, a parent shopping for a present for his or her child can locate the “hottest MP3 players among teenagers this week,” and the “most popular movie for women aged 20-30,” through a search interface configured to accept such queries.
The content shown in interface 1400 can be presented in a variety of ways. For example, video content may be represented as an icon, such as the filmstrip icon shown at 1408. A screen shot of the first frame of the video may also be shown, and interactions, such as hovering a mouse over region 1408 could trigger actions such as causing the video to be played in the browser.
In some cases, it may not be possible to embed the content directly into the interface shown in
